I just watched the review of Halo 2 from gamespot and.....

lol sparta, i swear the first time i saw your avatar i just sat there laughing for a minute or 2, pondering all great moments watcihing family guy.

i heart family guy.
 
Woo! This thread is still around!

I'd say something, but every forumgoer ever has already had time to beat me to it. Three times each.

Still think it's a bit mad comparing games that very few people on the planet have had a chance to play, but that said I still reckon I'll prefer HL2 in the long run. An estimated Summer 2005 release for Halo 2 on the PC will certainly delay any decision of mine :sleep:

how is it the same as #1 ?

if halo2 is the same as halo1, than hl2 is the same as hl1.

halo2 will be more sucessful whether you liek it or not. it has millions of preorders in usa alone and is set to break all sorts of blockbuster records etc.

of course, your fanboy ignorance will tell you that i'm wrong and ignore all the facts etc.

More successful!? More Sales!? More popularity!?
This obviously makes Halo2 a superior game,
i mean take a look at the most successful and popular game, the sims, and its easy to see how superior it is to HL2 and halo2

Yes im being sarcastic, popularity is rarely a testament to how good something is

Edit : yes i know im a few years slow, be quiet :p

I could point out that Halo 2 is getting higher rating than Half-Life 2, but you are too much of a fanboy to care.

That is true.

HL2 has a BS mp component (css). Gamespot will burn that fact into the ground and based on the SP, it will definately score lesser than halo 2 (in high 8s)
 
Sorry for bringing these up, but I can't just sit back and watch

halo2 is innovative and fun and interesting.

i give you this question, what makes hl2 so good ? and don't say the physics and mod's as every other person does ...
Click to expand...

Innovative? What is so different about Halo 2 from Halo 1? Dual weapons? Hell, we had them back in Goldeneye N64.

Physics, mods, gameplay, storyline, graphics, everything makes HL2 a good game. It's the next generation in gaming, completely apart from practically anything else out now. If it's better or worse then Halo, to say that it is not good just brands you as a stupid Halo fanboy.

what's so amazing about halflife2 ? your in a secret facitily [whoa, originality jsut knocked me off my chair], you have to fight some aliens who are trying to take over a facility because they have been teleported with/tampered with by scientists [doom3, other games ?], you then have to escape [escaping is original].
there's halife in a nutshell. see how crap and unoriginal it sounds? it's just the way you word it.

Umm...are you saying that Half-Life 1 stole the plot from Doom 3, a game that was released 6(?) years after it?. At the time, it was fairly original. Also, Halo's plot isn't exactly original, is it?
 
Holy christ...haven't we all had enough of Halo 2 vs. HL2 threads? Jesus H Christ in a chicken basket.
 
The thread went a little off topic. It was about Gamespot's review if I remember right. I wasnt as good review as Doom3 review for example.
 
your sarcasm detector is broken planeforger :D

halo2 is innovative upon halo1. it has new 'features' etc. you can't deny it.

what's so new and amazing and innovative about hl2 than?

i'm not claming halo to be original, i'm simply saying it has a good storyline and i think it is very well developed.

ok, i htink i might stop. you people totally take my words out of context. i'm not trying to compare the games, i enjoy both fairly equally and i will play both just as much as each other.

i'm showing you people that hl2 isn't as godlike as you make it and i'm trying to help people understand, and stop trying to downgrade halo2, there is no purpose.
 
...post of doom...again...

If you watch the review..you will see that Halo 2 is just like Halo 1 in many ways..that's why HL2 is going to smash Halo 2 into the ground. Watch it and see for your self.

Saw it. Its a 9.4 :rolling:

Nope :) (UT2004 sux balls, imo of course ;))

No, halo 2 is defiantely on par with these games. It's gameplay is fun as hell, and it's engine makes the unreal warfare/ unreal 2 engine look old. It certainly is better than ut2k4, in terms of technology and gameplay.

Oh, and have you played bf2, fear and hl2? no you haven't. Instead of arguing that "halo 2 sucks", just play the game instead - it's more productive and fun that way than typing on a message board defending unrealeased PC video games. :)
 
All come back on this forum in twelve months time and see what game has done the best. Halo 2 threads are a good read. :)

Did you go last night to get it? I'm getting it in an hour.
 
I posted this in the other thread. Hopefully this will help make these threads stop for a few minutes.

As you know, I'm usually one to argue in the Half-Life 2 vs. Halo 2 threads, especially recently. Then today, I was sitting quietly watching some TV and it hit me like a train: I'm lucky enough to play both games. Why I, or anyone else, wants to sit in front of a computer screen and argue which game uses normal mapping and which game doesn't have localization damage completely eludes me now.

Now I'm not saying that I now think Halo 2 is better or Half-Life 2 is better. I realized that within a few weeks, we will have both and I can play both and decide for myself.

Why people want to sit and argue and argue and argue about what this game has and what this game doesn't have is crazy. It's peoples opinion (see bottom of post for those who do not understand what this means) and no matter what you say or how you say it, you're not gonna change anyones minds or viewpoints. Bottom Line.

So why? Why waste precious time? If someone says Halo 2 or Half-Life 2 sucks, why argue? Does it offend you? Why?

Anyway, I'm getting Halo 2 tomorrow. I'll be getting Half-Life 2 in a couple of weeks. Which will be better? I don't know! But who cares?! I'm getting Halo 2 and Half-Life 2!!!

And remember kids: If you win a flame war on the internet, you're still a loser.
